Singer Juggy D, along with the music producer Amit Rai and MC and Rapper Sting-A-Man pays tribute to the 90s critically acclaimed Southall sound, with their new song ‘UB1’, which is sometimes forgotten but always remembered in high esteem by Bhangra fans worldwide.
The accompanying video finds the trio cruising through the streets of UB1, their hometown, putting the iconic Southall Broadway back on the map in a fast-paced, retro-styled film directed by Whiz, mirroring the mood of the song, and escaping back to a nostalgic era in West London’s music history.

“UB1 is the code of Southhall, which is just like a mini Punjab. You will find Punjabi foods and songs on the streets of Southhall, so for all those Punjabi fans who are always ready to shake on the Bhangra beat we have created this song.”
Juggy D is well known for his modern Bhangra style anthems like “NahinJeena” (2002), “Dance with You (NachnaTereNaal)” (2003), and “Sohniye” (2004).
The lyrics of the song are by ‘DILBAGH RAJPURA’ whereas the music is by AMIT RAI.
The Bob Dylan biopic “A Complete Unknown,” starring Timothée Chalamet, focuses on Dylan’s early 1960s transition from idiosyncratic singer of folk songs to internationally renowned singer-songwriter. As a music historian, I’ve always respected one decision of Dylan’s in particular – one that kicked off the young artist’s most turbulent and significant period of creative activity.
Actress-singer Iulia Vantur, who has lent her voice for the revamped version of the song “Raat Baaqi Baat Baaqi” from the upcoming series “Citadel: Honey Bunny”, said that she learnt Hindi in the “most beautiful way” through music.
